BBC websites Announces investigation of hybrid embryos photos
According to the Daily Telegraph reported, on January 1, United Kingdom Association of human reproduction and embryo (HFEA) have been issued licenses, agreed to build human embryo to study swine hybrid therapy of heart disease. This is the third issue investigation of hybrid embryos license, you are the United Kingdom since the month of June in the House of Commons voted in support of that wide controversial scientific projects of the first licenses.
HFEA spokesperson, has formally approved the Warwick University clinical medical research applications, allowing its since July 1, synthetic human-pig hybrid embryos, valid for one year. Warwick University study subject leader is Justin · St. John 's, he said: "this new license that we try to clone human embryos of swine hybrid from embryonic stem cells, which in the body can grow up to 200 times greater. We will extract the patient's skin cells, which contain certain heart disease mutation gene (such as heart disease, cardiac blood gravis) and place it into the pig has been cleared of chromosomes, and then build the follicle in embryos and tries to extract the embryonic stem cell research and the heart-related molecular composition. Finally the study will help us understand the causes of these diseases, and the development of new medicine for the pharmaceutical sector to provide samples. Just a small amount of preparation, you can expand the effective research. However still need to emphasize that we are still at the initial stage of the study, make progress even breakthrough needed in time. First of all it is necessary to further study the production process and skills to advance work mainly to ensure the efficiency of hybrid cloning process. ”
